While Arianna Huffington would tell you you’re not supposed to bring your smartphone into bed with you&comma; a range of companies at CES this week to showcase the products they’ve created to help you get more rest -- many of which integrate with mobile devices&period;

This is the second consecutive year that CES has had a section devoted to sleep products&comma; called the Sleep Tech Marketplace&period; While it’s not very big compared with the expo floor real estate other product categories have &lpar;e&period;g&period; automotive&sol;vehicle technology&rpar;&comma; the decision by the Consumer Technology Association to give sleep its own section coincides with a couple of ongoing trends&period;

One&comma; health trackers are huge&period; Two&comma; many makers of health trackers have realized that&comma; beyond the cool factor&comma; quantifying bodily metrics has no purpose for users if it doesn’t help them better their health&period; A common refrain across much of the sensor-laden technology at CES is&comma; “What good is all of this data if users don’t know what to do with it&quest;” To be taken seriously&comma; companies have to aggressively demonstrate that they’ll help users go the last mile&period;

&NewLine;Even though all humans sleep&comma; the reason for the nightly process is still largely an
enigma to scientists&comma; and sleep tech definitely has its share of
debunkers&comma; which means sleep tech may have a long way to go&period; Until then&comma; click through for seven products on display at CES this year that aim to improve your shut-eye&period;&NewLine;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;

Aromarest helps users get their sleep cycles under control with help from their senses of sight&comma; smell and hearing&period; It’s an all-in-one color-changing bedside lamp&comma; noise machine and aromatherapy device controlled via an app&period;

Warm tones of light&comma; reminiscent of the sunset&comma; help you wind down and stimulate melatonin excretion&comma; while blue light does the opposite&period; Certain scents may make you sleepy &lpar;lavender&rpar; and others may make you want to get up &lpar;perhaps coffee&rpar;&period; Many people use white noise to stay asleep but may want to wake up to upbeat &lpar;but not too rowdy&rpar; music&period;

It’s up to the user what type of essences they want their Aromarest to emit during the device’s a&period;m&period; and p&period;m&period; infusions&comma; and they can experiment&period; &lpar;The essences Aromarest uses are not proprietary&period;&rpar; If they still wake up in the middle of the night&comma; they can reset the process&comma; prompting another burst of the nighttime scent&period;

To monitor whether the device is helping users&comma; Aromarest will send a one-line survey asking how they slept&period; Down the road&comma; spokesperson Marc Liebman says the company will integrate the device with health-tracker wearables&comma; such as smartwatches&period; The device is slated to go on the market this April for around &dollar;140&period;

2&period; A brain-monitoring headband that conducts sounds through your skull&period;

The &dollar;499 Dreem is an app-controlled sleep headband from startup Rythm&comma; designed by world-renowned industrial designer Yves Béhar&period; It contains EEG sensors to monitor your brain function during sleep&comma; then plays sounds using bone conduction -- meaning it conducts sound through the skull to the inner ear so a sleeping partner won’t overhear it -- to help you fall asleep&comma; stay asleep or wake up&period;

The alarm activates when you’re in the lightest part of your sleep cycle to prevent grogginess&period; The company claims Dreem can reduce the time it takes to fall asleep by 30 percent and improve the quality of deep sleep by 32 percent&period;

Dreem issues users a sleep quality report every morning so they can better understand how the sounds it emits help them sleep&period;

Solace Lifesciences&comma; Inc&period;&comma; the company behind stress-relief brand NuCalm&comma; drew a consistent line of a couple dozen people at a time at its booth&period; People showed up to “get the benefits of two hours of sleep in 20 minutes&period;”

To achieve this&comma; participants wore NuCalm’s ReNu headset&comma; which delivers micro-current stimulation to the brain in the form of beta and delta waves that define REM and deep sleep&comma; as well as subtle sounds &lpar;neuroacoustics&rpar;&period; They shut out the world for 20 minutes with eye masks&comma; headphones and blankets&comma; until a company representative woke them up&period;

ReNu costs &dollar;799 and is available for pre-order&period;

Anyone else curious how many people were just testing it as an excuse to nap during the marathon-sprint that is CES&quest;

After 10 years in development&comma; SleepScore Labs has created Max&comma; a bedside a sleep tracker that only requires proximity to track data&comma; not contact&period; It looks like a tiny speaker and sends waves that reflects off the skin’s perspiration&comma; and it picks up movement to one-tenth of a millimeter&period;

Max can monitor your breathing and sleep patterns&period; It also provides personalized&comma; actionable advice about what you can do to improve your sleep&comma; keeping in mind your daytime personal habits &lpar;exercise level&comma; coffee and alcohol intake&comma; self-reported stress level&comma; etc&period;&rpar;&period; It’ll also tell you if your bed is too old for proper sleep&period;

Best of all&comma; with this one&comma; you don’t need to bring your smartphone to bed&period;

Italian company Magniflex has been in the sleep game for 56 years&comma; since founder Giuliano Magni created his first mattresses in a small workshop in Prato&comma; Italy&period; But this is the company’s first time at CES&period;

Magniflex is showcasing its Magni Smartech&comma; which integrates into the company’s mattresses and records and analyzes data as you sleep&period; Metrics include wake up time&comma; hours slept&comma; average heart rate and fluctuations&comma; breathing and the level of light and noise in the room&period; You can then review the information online or via app&period;

What sets this tech apart&comma; however&comma; is its “anti-snore function&period;” The bed can actually detect when you’re snoring and change position&comma; then change back when you stop&period;
